Overview

Body Slam, known in Japan as Dump Matsumoto, is a Sega System 16 arcade professional wrestling game developed by Esco Boueki and manufactured by Sega Enterprises, Ltd. Originally endorsed by professional Japanese wrestler Dump Matsumoto, the game was first released to Japanese arcades in May 1986, and was later brought to the United States later that year. One month later in June 1986, Sega R&D 2 released the similar Gokuaku Doumei Dump Matsumoto for the Sega Master System, which shares similar gameplay. Another wrestling game by designer Hiroshi Aso, Wrestle War, would be released in 1989. Body Slam is said to be the first video game to depict female professional wrestling.
